[email protected] Before using Statistics we must agree on: • Purpose and datasources • Which classification systems to use • How much of our time to spent on collection of data 2 and to use it • How to balance society vs. individual - ethical considerations. • Who is to pay - the collector or the user J.Lauritsen Issues in establishing valid registration November 2011 Counting is not a new thing ! 3 J.Lauritsen Issues in establishing valid registration November 2011 How to prioritise The epidemiological approach • Do we have a problem - How many ?

J.Lauritsen Issues in establishing valid registration November 2011 Place of Occurence 11 J.Lauritsen Issues in establishing valid registration November 2011 Ability of hospitals to record these data ? 12 J.Lauritsen Issues in establishing valid registration November 2011 From data to priority – new methods Grid data counting of outcome and numerator 13 J.Lauritsen Issues in establishing valid registration November 2011 Decision exercise Person question the munizipality: “It is dangerous here 14 – do something” Information: Police based injuries: 1 accident Decision ? J.Lauritsen Issues in establishing valid registration November 2011 In hospital 18 injured persons treated from same period Several in the same spot. 15 Decision: What is the answer ? J.Lauritsen Issues in establishing valid registration November 2011 Prevention can demand a clinical approach - e.g. falls Visits to a hospital in 18 months- population 10.000 Agegroup stumbled fell from height 16 70-79 302 117 80-89 410 77 90+ 118 14 Think of the personnel need to find out if these need training J.Lauritsen Issues in establishing valid registration November 2011 Appreciate the possible change in nature of accidents - from technical to “public health”/sociological solutions • Early: technical solutions might be appropriate. 17 Major part of the room for prevention • Later - complex situation. Behaviour and mode of transportation. - example child, trucks and roundabouts J.Lauritsen Issues in establishing valid registration November 2011 When acting develop quality assurance measures - e.g. • Before/after measurements of road crossings • structured assessments of every day situation 18 – what are you eating, how do you handle food preparation, which social habits do you value ... • Standardised functional tests – for individual follow up and for priority setting J.Lauritsen Issues in establishing valid registration November 2011 In summary: we should align and count J.Lauritsen Issues in establishing valid registration November 2011 The problem is, that we cannot align ! J.Lauritsen Issues in establishing valid registration November 2011 Conclusion We thought that counting was enough – In particular if we counted with detailed parameters – Someone else would obviously act ! • BUT: Creation of practical statisics and prevention is much 21 more than collecting data and making tables • resources - who pays • room for local influence • statistical analysis is more than tabulation • room for action • work with targets of interest • agree on goalsetting in a political setting – J.Lauritsen Issues in establishing valid registration November 2011 The outside system is in progress Web links: Ouh.dk/uag Www.epidata.dk J.Lauritsen Issues in establishing valid registration November 2011 Web links www.epidata.dk www.ouh.dk/uag 23 J.Lauritsen Issues in establishing valid registration November 2011.
